“All of this just left me heartbroken,” she explained. “Why don’t I deserve to be his wife after being his GF for so long?”
“Does he not love me enough to make a romantic gesture for me? Choosing me over his useless bike? I talked to my sister, who got engaged 2 years into her relationship, and her approach was simple yet effective. She told me to withdraw all wife privileges from him until I get that title; that he has to “earn” me – not cleaning and cooking for him, moving out, not paying for his expenses sometimes – stuff like that.”
So, she heeded her sister’s advice and started to withdraw all of those wife privileges she gave to her boyfriend. She started by not renewing the lease on their place with him, and he got very angry with her when she declined to sign again.
He said he thought it was a terrible way for her to deal with things and that they really need to continue living together to keep their personal life alive and well.
In response, she told her boyfriend, “I have been a wife for you without the title. I gave myself completely to you, only to expect you to do this one thing for me. I’ve waited long enough.”
“I don’t really believe in ultimatums – so I am not going to force your hand. I am simply acting as your girlfriend now, if you really want our relationship to go back to what it was, you better give me an upgrade.”
She’s curious if she’s dealing with this in the right way. What advice do you have for her?
